GG Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/11/16/ufnwatford116.xml Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd will appear in court in an effort to save midfielder Al Bangura from deportation back to Sierra Leone. Officially, Bangura does not exist. The 19-year-old has no papers from Sierra Leone, he cannot get a UK passport until cleared to stay in Britain and cannot get a driving licence without documentary proof of his identity. Threat: Al Bangura (left) does not want to return to Sierra Leone and will fight to stay in England Bangura was cleared to stay in Britain earlier this year, only for the Home Office to lodge an appeal on a legal technicality, claiming his status as an asylum seeker changed when he turned 18. Boothroyd will speak before an immigration tribunal on Monday week. A Watford source said: "It's a disgraceful way to treat a genuine refugee who, far from living off state benefits and being a burden to the taxpayer, paid £120,000 in tax himself last year. "Al's father was butchered in the civil war and he escaped the clutches of both a voodoo cult in Sierra Leone and a child trafficking network, only to fall foul of red tape. "If he was sent back to Africa it would destroy a promising career, break up a family and weaken Aidy's squad at a stroke. We are going to fight this all the way." Completely disgraceful tbh, if you compare it to the Afghan hijackers (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4767463.stm) who were granted asylum, I don't get it, he's paying more than enough tax yet they're still trying to deport him.

ElDiablo Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I hate the cringy lines Boothroyd comes out with sometimes. "Asking him to go back to Sierra Leone to make a living would be like asking Frank Sinatra to play at *insert shit pub* on a Friday night." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly mate, how good is he? because he really is an excellent player on football manager. Not really sure, a while back he broke into the first team and looked brilliant, has popped in and out of the first team, been out with injuries etc, but all along has looked pretty solid. He should be a decent PL player at some stage, could still potentially be world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 How does he have "no papers"? Allegedly the contract was signed on toilet paper in Tupac Shakur style, but this then became defunct when Decky used it to wipe his arse with kingdawson's post in this very thread.
